Hood Pin Install
The trick is to install the pins first.
Put a small dab of paint on the top of the pins, and slowly set the hood on the pins.
Now you should have two dabs of paint on the bottom of your hood. The center of those dabs of paint is where you drill a tiny pilot hole from the bottom to the top. After that you drill from the top down with a step drill. Almost forgot, put a piece of blue painters tape over the hole you are drilling. This will stop the paint from chipping. Use some body color paint to paint the inside of the holes after they are drilled.The sheet metal screws for the trim piece is pretty easy. Mark the holes, and drill with the proper size bit. Don't go to big here with the bit, you want the screws to stay snug. I like to center punch all the holes with this automatic center punch. $4.00 Harbor Freight.
Good luck !
